Your eyepiece is half the telescope, use the best -- Tele Vue" - said Jack Marling, founder of Lumicon Co. "Fast" telescopes (f/4-f/6) of all types -- refractors, reflectors, Schmidt Newtonians, Mak-Newtonians require the finest eyepieces for sharp, full field viewing. Every Tele Vue eyepiece is personally tested at f/4 by our quality control staff to ensure the sharpest full field possible. It is the nature of optics that being the best in fast scopes also always assures the best performance in "slow" scopes. While every Tele Vue eyepiece type will yield the critical center sharpness so necessary for planetary viewing and splitting double stars, observers get the added bonus of a sharp wide field and comfortable eye relief with the different design models. The Tele Vue Plössls are patented to be sharper over a larger field than any competing brands of Plössls or Orthos. Tele Vue 60° Radians, 68° Panoptics, 82° Naglers and 100° Ethos are the eyepieces of choice, along with the 50° Nagler 2mm--4mm and 3mm--6mm zoom, for full field sharpness. The finest performance requires the finest materials such as high index lanthanum and fluorite type glasses, in some cases costing up to 15x more than ordinary glass types. At Tele Vue we ask "how can we make it better", rather than "how can we make it cheaper." We think you'll agree that the views are worth it.

Kitchen helper jailed 21 months for trespass into woman's flat and molest of another
Published on Apr 16, 2014 6:08 PM
A kitchen helper who followed one woman into her flat and later molested another was jailed for 21 months on Wednesday.
Ong Bun Hock, 44, who wanted to befriend the women as he found them attractive, admitted to trespassing into the home of a Filipina, 27, and touching another woman, 24, in a lift in Yishun Street 11 on March 22 this year.
A district court heard that Ong had finished drinking at a coffeeshop at about 7am that day when he noticed the Filipino national walking nearby and decided to follow her.
After watching her for about 20 minutes, he saw her enter a ground floor unit at Yishun Street 22. He pushed her on the back, causing her to almost fall.

Colombia Official Travel Guide
You are here:
December in Colombia means several things with names that are quite likely as of yet unrecognizable to you: novenas and alumbrados, natillas and buñuelos, though if you spend any time in Colombia during this time of year you will quickly become well acquainted with them.
Calle 10, between City Hall and Carrera 10 may just be La Candelaria's and even Bogotá's most colorful block, with its sidewalk vendors, elegant (if decayed) historic buildings and small shops offering everything from esoterica to clothes to a cheap lunch.
Though Cali is justifiably famous for its nightlife and salsa clubs, weekend days in Cali are noticeably more tranquil. Come Saturday and Sunday afternoon, it can seem like everybody is either at their mother's house for lunch or at the mall, shopping (Cali's second favorite pastime after dancing)— and many of them are. A very large amount, however, are likely to be found down at the Pance River (El Rio Pance), in the southern part of the city.

Hi all. Does anyone use the Xpress Redi-Set-Go, or other older model? I feel like it would be great for omlettes and low-cal pizza and stuffed pita pockets, and could lead to more creativity in my diet (and less frozen diet meals, which are also convenient), but I'm not sure if I should get one, so I wanted some dieter feedback.

Still from my last trip to São Paulo with @iaki...
So my Horizon is really messed up. Its really old and had fallen on the floor many times. Sad to see her falling apart. These photos came out super overexposed. 400iso on a horizon kompakt did not seem to be a good idea. Ive been having a hard time uploading stuff here (proxys issues) and haven't really been in the mood and with time to take pictures...but I'll be back soon. Oh the last 2 pictures were not taken in Brazil but I wish they were.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by peropero with a Horizon Kompakt (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Kodak Tri-X film in Sao Paulo, Brazil. These tags describe this photo: horizon, sao, paulo, brazil, bw, bn, city, big, landscape, urban, trip, friends, fun, fall, cloudy, and grey. Date: 2012-04. Time: Afternoon.

J.J. Abrams Now Officially Unconfirmed Director of 'Star Wars' Episode VII
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 24, 2013 | Comments (5)Here's what we know: there will be a new Star Wars movie in the next few years (2015 to be more precise). Currently producer Kathleen Kennedy has Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt working on a script for Episode VII of the saga. George Lucas will serve as a consultant. In today's round of "it might be true but might be completely made up" Star Wars Episode VII news, several reputable outlets including Deadline and LA Times are reporting that J.J. Abrams has been chosen by Disney and Co. to head up the rebirth of one of the most prosperous franchises in the history of cinema. Which is interesting, as Abrams actively denied involvement, placing him on the ever-growing list of who won't direct Star Wars Episode VII. Whether or not this story is true could be held inside Abrams' Mystery Box for all we know, but it is notable that it's making the round with otherwise responsible outlets. It would be unprecedented to see Abrams take over Star Wars just after rebooting Star Trek, but it also might not be such a bad thing. As Star Trek fans can attest, Abrams does have the goods. In more concrete news, Abrams does have Star Trek Into Darkness coming out on May 17.
The Klingons of 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Continue to Emerge
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 21, 2013 | Comments (3)As any enthusiastic, detail oriented Trekker would tell you, the DVD and Blu-ray release of J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot included several deleted scenes that involve villain Nero (Eric Bana) and his crew being caught and imprisoned by the iconic Enterprise adversary the Klingons. The trip to the Tower of Klingon was cut from that movie, but the design of the Klingon getup and the promise of their presence in this newly created Star Trek world was there. Now a new prequel comic for Star Trek Into Darkness is adding fuel to the fire that burns inside those of us who want to see Klingons emerge amongst the many lens flares.
How Abrams' Mystery Machine is Doing Movie Hype Right
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on January 7, 2013 | Comments (2)While answering questions about something very few people care about (NBC's Revolution) writer/director/mystery boxer/producer J.J. Abrams went on the defensive about his secrecy concerning projects. The filmmaker, who has his hands in many, many different pies, has long been known to keep relatively mum about his projects, whether they're television shows like Lost or the upcoming sequel to Star Trek. Abrams said that it was no fun always having to keep mum on his projects, but ultimately it's worth it. On the subject, he said "all the work we're doing is about making this a special experience for the viewer; let's preserve that as long as we can." He went on to say that, as a movie fan himself, he doesn't understand why people are always clamoring for information. While Abrams and I may disagree on the subject of lens flares, on this one we are 100% in agreement.
Second 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Teaser Trailer Has Greatness In It But No Humility
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 17, 2012 | Comments (2)While the announcement trailer (which is something studios are doing now) was decidedly dark, there's a shining kind of hope in this new look at Star Trek Into Darkness (via iTunes) even as the Tom Waits Lite voice of Benedict Cumberbatch issues threats and Bruce Greenwood tells Chris Pine's Captain Kirk that his arrogance is going to be his (and everyone around him's) downfall. Maybe it's because we're given glimpses of those people, crew members that we've already come to know and care about from the first movie. Or maybe there's cause for celebration with the scope of this film. Or maybe it's just because it isn't as dark as it could have been.
'Star Trek Into Darkness' Prologue Reactions: A Sigh of Relief and Continued Mystery
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentJ.J. Abrams and friends are going to introduce Star Trek Into Darkness to the world in a big way when they show a 9-minute prologue to audiences salivating to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This is par for the course for giant films, and so is showing off the work to movie website runners before everyone else. While we caught early footage of the first Abrams Trek and were lucky enough to sit next to Leonard Nimoy for the surprise Drafthouse premiere, we didn't go early into the Darkness. Fortunately, we have eyeballs and internet browsers, so we collected a lot of the first responses. Granted, these come with a shovel-full of salt (just like insane trailer/poster speculation), but the overall message from pundits and fans? All is well. Calm down. Into Darkness is set up for greatness. Gird your loins for a few minor, opening scene details but not for who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing.
'Star Trek Into Darkness' Teaser Trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch is Pissed
Movie News By Jack Giroux on December 6, 2012 | Comments (3)There has been plenty of speculation over whether Khan (Khan!!!!) will appear as Star Trek 2's villain. This trailer — which is packed with tons of footage for a teaser — almost feels like a confirmation that Khan is indeed the antagonist of Star Trek Into Darkness. While no character outright says his name, there is a specific shot and line which implies they Abrams and his team were heavily inspired by Wrath of Khan. Or, knowing Abrams, that's just a game of misdirection Paramount is playing… Take a look at the domestic trailer for yourself and decide, courtesy of Apple:
Has the 'Star Trek' Franchise Lost Its Uniqueness Going 'Into Darkness'?
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 3, 2012 | Comments (9)I had never seen a Star Trek episode or movie until I saw J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. Afterward, I watched a handful of the first season, caught Khan and then dug deeper into Next Generation thanks to my wife's loving insistence. The short version: I'm by no means a Trekker. Still, Abrams' flick was a lot of fun, and it's obvious why the franchise has captured the imaginations of so many millions. Through humanity and high adventure, it has secured untold dedication from the most hardcore of fan bases – a details-oriented group that cares about canon and gets genuinely excited by the core message of exploration and human achievement pumping from the heart of Gene Roddenberry's vision. And now here's the Star Trek Into Darkness poster – a piece of advertising that is so clearly lifted from The Dark Knight/Rises that every movie website made the connection immediately (Den of Geek even put them side by side). On top of a half-stolen smoldering logo concept, it's a poster so generic that you can't even quite tell who's on it. We all know it's Benedict Cumberbatch, but it might as well be Neo or Captain Jack Harkness or Captain Jack Sparrow. Hell, even the typography mimics Transformers the way the plot synopsis echoes what every sequel has tried to do since Empire. This is a lot to level at a piece of marketing, but the sheer scope of how unoriginal this image is draws into focus how this, like many […]
'Star Trek Into Darkness' Synopsis: Captain Kirk Fights a One-Man WMD
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 27, 2012 | Comments (1)Would it be cool if Chris Pine fistfights a sentient nuclear bomb named Fat Man in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness? Of course it would. Unfortunately, they've gone with a human villain which means that we'll be deprived of that gift to humanity(unless the set footage was an elaborate rouse, and Benedict Cumberbatch is voicing the anthropomorphic atomic missile). What we won't be deprived of, according to the plot synopsis, is the kind of second act tragedy that has to befall freshly minted heroes for a sequel to work well. If they can cut off Luke Skywalker's hand while changing his entire self-identity, something terrible has got to happen to the farm boy who became king of the Enterprise. Also on the menu? The aforementioned "one man weapon of mass destruction." Spoiler alert: it won't be Tom Hardy playing a clone. It's not hard to parse the tough parts out of the official synopsis for the film (even though it struggles with the basic rules of syntax). If you care to be enlightened, check it out for yourself:

NBC's 'Revolution' Doesn't Live Up to the Hype
Channel Guide By Amber Humphrey on September 21, 2012 | Comments (11)The dialogue in NBC's less than revolutionary new adventure series Revolution is filled with pointless obfuscations. "It's all going to turn off," warns Ben Matheson (Tim Guinee), a frazzled family man who knows…something. "It's going to turn off and it will never, ever turn back on." Technology is the "it" being discussed in this vague statement that simultaneously establishes the show's gratuitously theatrical tone and sets up the central conflict—lights, computers, cars, planes, iPhones (!), and all of the other essential, electronic thingamajigs that we take for granted, abruptly, stop functioning. The premise is provocative enough (albeit in an ordinary "What If?" game sort of way) but Revolution's series opener is tepid—made up of recycled bits and pieces from other overblown post-apocalyptic dramas—and, at times, unintentionally hilarious. Created by Supernatural's Eric Kripke, Revolution is supposed to be this year's epic—the event show that sucks everyone in with its mythology and intrigue. Post-Lost, we've been given at least one of these Abrams-esque dramas every season. Sometimes, like this one, J.J. Abrams is actually involved with the production (Abrams and Jon Favreau are executive producing), which only fuels the hype. Revolution has all of the standard features of this class of show—the large ensemble, the misdirection, the sci-fi. The most lamentable flaw, then, is that it never rises above its role as the requisite Abrams show.
Ka-Boom! J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot to Produce Edgar Wright's 'Collider,' From His Own Original Idea
In Development By Kate Erbland on July 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHow awesome is it to be Edgar Wright right now? First off, he's finally getting down to brass tacks on his long-teased Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy finale, The World's End, with best buds Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. After that? He gets to direct another long-desired project, an Ant-Man feature film for Marvel. And, on top of that, the Brit looks to be getting into bed with no less than J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions for a super-secret sci-fi film called Collider, which Abrams and Bad Robot will produce (alongside Wright's long-time producer, Nira Park). Deadline Wherever (via /Film) reports that Paramount Pictures has hired Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend, Thor, the Old Boy remake, and the hard-to-believe-it's-happening Jurassic Park IV) to pen the script for the film with Wright (who will also direct) from Wright's own original idea. Nothing else is known about the project as of now – the only available information is that tantalizing title and the non-surprising revelation that it falls under the sci-fi genre – but all the talent attached is cause enough to be excited (we'll forgive you for Legend, Protosevich, at least for now). What could this possibly be about? The Large Hadron Collider? The punk band Collider? Movie website Collider? The possibilities are endless.
Updated: Fan-Made 'Star Trek 2′ Teaser Trailer Aspires to Miracles and J.J. Abrams Introduces a Klingon
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 5, 2012 | Comments (5)Update: So, yes. This is a fan-made trailer. But it's insanely good. And it must have taken a lot of effort. Apologies for posting it as official. The Klingon picture on the other hand, is definitely confirmed as real. Original Post: Benedict Cumberbatch appears to be stuck in a sci-fi beehive in the new teaser trailer for Star Trek 2. Or it might be some sort of rejuvenating bath. Either way, the trailer boasts an eerie, technologically ambitious voice over which promises to find the final solution for all of our problems. Usually when someone seeks that out, a bunch of people die. That's probably why Chris Pine's Captain Kirk looks so concerned. This is Christmas in June for Trek fans, because this trailer is excellent, and because J.J. Abrams just sneaked an image of a Klingon into some recent footage. Check out both below:
'Star Trek 2′ Villain May Be Exactly Who You Expected It to Be
Movie News By Jack Giroux on April 30, 2012 | Comments (2)In typical fashion when it comes to J.J. Abrams films, Paramount has given fans of the director's sequel to his smash hit Star Trek remake zero confirmation on just who will be Star Trek 2's villain. Yet, we all must have known that this "top secret!" information would get out sooner or later. Now, as expected, someone has reportedly blown J.J. Abrams's mystery, meaning he won't get to have a trailer or poster shock us with his villain's true identity! What a shame… [Possible spoilers after the jump]
Movie News After Dark: Attack the Kicks, Sore George Lucas, Sexy Michelle Williams and Creepy Rugrats
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 17, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that has a bit of a fashion sense, a sometimes sexy side and perhaps even a creepy streak. It will use and abuse all of these facets of its game in tonight's edition. This one, as they say, is a must-read. We begin tonight with an image of custom Attack the Block themed shoes made by Toni Taylor-Salisbury, whom you may know as Mrs. Junkfood Cinema. The lovely Kayla Kromer tweeted them earlier this evening, as yet another example of Mrs. Salisbury's amazing work in the realm of geek footwear. You can check out her other work over on her Etsy store. Do it now. Then come back, because there's more news.
Benedict Cumberbatch Will Boldly Go for 'Star Trek 2′
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 4, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs pre-production on the J.J. Abrams directed sequel to 2009's Star Trek intensifies, we are beginning to see some updates from the folks at Paramount. Namely casting rumors about villains, rumors about what villains will appear and a few things about Benicio Del Toro being in, out and everything in between. Tonight brings us reason to forget about all that and celebrate something slightly more official. Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of Steven Moffat's incredible BBC series Sherlock, Steve Spielberg's War Horse and soon to be the voice of 'Smaug the Dragon' in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, has joined returning cast members for the still untitled but very much anticipated Star Trek sequel.
Channel Guide: 5 Promising Midseason Series
Channel Guide By Amber Humphrey on December 17, 2011 | Comments (1)After all of the hype from the fall television premieres has died down, we are now in for the second wave of excitement that happens midseason. If all of the shows that begin airing in September are dinner, then the ones that come in the winter are dessert – of course, that dessert can be horrible, you know, maybe taste a little like Sons of Tucson. This metaphor is wearing thin, so before I start talking about oatmeal raisin cookies and non-fat yogurt, here's a list of the midseason series premieres that I have my eye on.
Movie News After Dark: Justified, Scorsese's Hugo, Batsuit Nipples, J.J. Abrams, Community and The Doctor's Xmas Special
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that doesn't mess around. If it tells you to leave town or else it will shoot you on the spot, then you'd better believe that it will shoot you on the spot. Lucky for you, it would never ask you to leave town. All it asks is that you come back and read on a nightly basis. Or else. We open tonight with a bit of news for your boob tube. FX has set dates for the return of Justified and Archer, two favorite shows of mine. Both are coming back in January. They've also given the green light to an animated comedy called Unsupervised, which features the likes of Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Romany Malco, Kaitlin Olson and Alexa Vega. It's about teens who are forced to navigate through life without parental supervision. Either way, did I mention that Justified is coming back? Walton Goggins, man…
Movie News After Dark: Prometheus Rises, The Dark Knight Trailers, The Anatomy of a Stunt Driver and The Inglourious Mr. Fox
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 22, 2011 | Comments (5)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that, at least for tonight, will divert your attention away from it being a slow news day by using a rousing round-up of visual stimuli. That's right, we're busting out infographics! We begin tonight with one of a few hot-off-the-press photos from Ridley Scott's Prometheus, featuring the cast. Among them was this shot of dreamy Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace, also dreamy. There's also some pretty kick-ass science fictiony stuff promised alongside this oozing sexuality.
39 Things We Learned From the 'Cloverfield' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 13, 2011 | Comments (4)Welcome back to Commentary Commentary, your weekly dish of directorial insight and/or, as indicated by last week's column, shenanigans. This week we're looking inside the mystery box with director Matt Reeves and uncovering what he has to say about our favorite recent monster movie, Cloverfield. Reeves did this commentary all by his lonesome, but something tells me J.J. Abrams was standing over him with a loaded gun lest Reeves divulge too much information. I'll be listening intently for any Morse Code warnings or cries for help. Since this commentary track was laid down years ago, and since Matt Reeves has since directed Let Me In – more Morse Code messages. Hmmm – I have a feeling everything turned out okay. So here, in all of its Slusho wonder, is what I learned on the Matt Reeves commentary for Cloverfield. I wonder if there are going to be any Lost secrets. I hope there are Lost secrets. Or Star Trek 2. Okay, wishful thinking is over. Shutting up now.

10.12.04 - By Andrew Mullinder: It is perhaps only the most cynical observers who failed to be moved and inspired by the recent celebrations to mark the 30th anniversary of the Rumble in the Jungle. Revisiting the remarkable events that surrounded what is probably the most widely recognised boxing match in history, and in particular the spontaneous genius and unflappable nerve of Muhammed Ali, should have provided a timely reminder of the breathtaking heights boxing can reach.. However, memories of that thrilling event, and the unparalleled excellence of the heavyweight division from which it grew, brings into sharp focus the paucity of talent and excitement to be found among the current heavyweight ranks. Boxing's flagship division appears to be shrouded in a malaise of mediocrity, it's leading players, barely household names in their own homes, are characterised by unappealing styles, wildly fluctuating form, and painful descents toward overdue retirement. Under these circumstances, it is perhaps a surprise that the meeting of Vitali Klitschko and Danny Williams, who each might have struggled to be recognised by all but the most erudite boxing aficionados as little as 18 months ago, and whose unassuming and genuinely friendly personalities appear at direct odds with the hype-fuelled bravado that usually fills boxing's arenas, should inspire the sort of excitement and bar room debate that was once characteristic of most Heavyweight Championship fights, but is now usually reserved exclusively for meetings between two box office superstars. Perhaps it is because HBO have for once managed to contrive a match between a heavyweight who has a credible justification for calling himself World Heavyweight Champion, and a challenger who has genuine credentials behind his challenge for that title. A strong performance in defeat against the then linear (and true) Champion, Lennox Lewis, followed by two crowd pleasing, short route victories against top ten challenger Kirk Johnson and dangerous contender Corrie Sanders, has placed Klitschko as the fans', and the all important The Ring Magazine's, Heavyweight Champion. Danny Williams, on the other hand, has shot to stardom at a rate that is likely to have made his nose bleed. He progressed, in less than 15 minutes, from obscurity to being the logical and popular choice to challenge for the Heavyweight Championship of the World by virtue of one single act: his exhilaratingly savage four round victory over óIronô Mike Tyson. Like Klitschko, he adopted a crowd pleasing style that more than made up for its lack of athletic grace or technical excellence with bravery, aggression, and bludgeoning power. The styles and strong credentials of two fighters are, of course, key to the interest any fight generates. However, what seems to separate the Klitschko and Williams' meeting is the enigmatic, intangible and conflicting reference points upon which everybody must base their assessment of the fight. Klitschko's only losses have come against Chris Byrd, when he was winning by about as far as it is possible to be winning in the tenth round of a boxing match only to tear his rotator cuff, and Lennox Lewis, when he was up on all three judges scorecards only for the ringside doctor to pull him out of the fight because of the gruesome cuts he had sustained. This lends credence to Klitschko's claim that he has never been beaten fair and square in the ring. And his performances since his moral victory over Lewis have certainly been, on paper, impressive. Despite this, doubts remain. Most sensible observers feel that Lewis was on the downward side of his peak when he fought Klitschko in Los Angeles, and he was clearly overweight and out of shape. And while Johnson, and especially Sanders, might have been considered dangerous, both men entered the ring looking in the sort of condition better suited to demolishing an all-you-can-eat-buffet than a world class boxer. Furthermore, despite their conditions, the classier Lewis and the fast handed southpaw Sanders, managed to land numerous bombs to the head of Klitschko and trouble him on several occasions during their encounters. In fact, Klitschkoôs match with Sanders was, in my opinion, while entertaining, the poorest quality fight in recent memory for the genuine World Heavyweight Title. Yet Klitschko almost invariably gets the job done. His awkward style and ungainly physique may be reminiscent of Jess Willard (who, coincidentally, also succeeded an unpopular black Champion, Jack Johnson), but apart from injuries in fights he was winning, he has beaten every opponent he has faced, he marshals his outstanding physical attributes deceptively well, and he has naturally concussive power. Assessments of Williams' chances, even by respected and experienced fight handicappers, appear to hinge on his performance against Tyson. It is as if his demolition of the onetime "baddest man on the planet" is such an impressive feat that it wipes clean all past form, and all of his deficiencies. While everybody who follows boxing closely concedes that Tyson is a dramatically faded version of his former self, it seems that they are fooled by awe-inspiring memories of a young Iron Mike, who combined fast hands, terrifying power, and technical brilliance with a feral ferocity that made him a completely irresistible force between 1986 and 1989. It is perhaps understandable, considering how intense those memories are, that they cloud judgement. But realistically, bar his concussive power and ability to intimidate, Tyson has little left to constitute mention in the Worldôs top heavyweights. Perhaps Williams' victory in Louisville was a bit like Ray Leonard's over Marvin Hagler. People expected Leonard to be soundly beaten by Hagler, and it meant that every success Ray had was surprising, and thus somehow magnified, making it greater than it objectively was. But despite the importance of guarding against overestimating the feat Williams achieved in defeating Tyson, there are some important positives that Williams can take from that upset win into his bout with Klitschko. Most startlingly, in the biggest fight of his life, against the master intimidator, Williams kept his cool. He had been known to break down and cry before matches in the past, but Williams was calm and confident before and during his match with Tyson. If he is to beat Klitschko, he must be again. His level of fitness and ability to throw large numbers of consecutive power punches was also vital to victory against Tyson. And although, against Tyson, Williams needed only to wait for his exhausted and demoralised opponent to trundle into his arc of fire, this ability will be key against Klitschko. The big Ukrainian likes to keep his opponents at bay with long jabs, before tattooing them with his concussive right cross. The shorter Williams will have to work his way inside, using a fast jab, and excellent head and lateral movement. When he gets there it seems likely that Klitschko will want to tie him up, and so Williams will have to be prepared to work furiously when he is offered the opportunity, and if possible, draw Klitschko into a brawl, where the Ukrainian's long arms will be less effective. In the early rounds against Tyson, Williams also showed the grit, determination and ability to absorb severe punishment that he will need to sustain for long periods against Klitschko. In the opening minutes, Tyson's ferocious pursuit and withering combinations harked back to his frightening 1987 persona. But Williams showed immense courage to stay standing, fire back, and impose himself by the end of the second round. Finally, Williams must use the boxing ability that his mental troubles have shackled for so long. He is a fine athlete who, at his best, punches in smooth, powerful combinations. If he does not reach the potential of his talent on Saturday, or Klitschko manages to keep the fight at range and Williams off balance with his jab, preventing him from getting his sweeping combinations off, Williams will gradually lose conviction and almost certainly lose the fight. But does Danny Williams, even at his best, have what it takes to beat the 6'7" 245lb Vitali Klitschko? It has seemed clear for many years to almost all followers of boxing in Britain that Danny has too much talent and ability for "British standard" Heavyweights. However, imposing that talent and ability at World, and even European level, had, before Tyson, appeared a step too far. If he manages to beat Vitali Klitschko it might even be a bigger upset than his victory over Tyson. While this wouldn't necessarily indicate a return to the golden days of 1974 when Ali, Foreman and Frazier were kings, because, as Hugh McIlvanney recently pointed out, "the Heavyweight Division scarcely boasts a middle class, let alone an aristocracy," Williams' ascent from anonymous underachiever to World Champion this year will be a long overdue reminder of how Heavyweight boxing can thrill, inspire and excite like no other sporting event.

Now in the Sonate. Calendar
and available as cards and prints
Wilbur was an unattractive man. He lived a lonely existence above the old book, music and print shop which he kept in Davies Mews. They say that all day he drank rum, disguised as coffee from a pot, and ate leeks, artichokes and lime jelly.
The wonderful things he bought and sold fascinated him, and left him with little desire for anything else in life…until one day an unusual manuscript came his way. The score was not that unusual in itself – what caught his interest was an old ink inscription down one side. It read – "Matilda Nectarines" Nth Rona Isle.
Being a keen amateur geographer he quickly found an atlas and located this remote place. This did not, however, satisfy his wild curiosity and he started to research everything he could about Nth Rona and nectarines. Who was Matilda?
Why "Matilda Nectarines" ?
He closed up his shop and journeyed to the very north of Scotland. About a year later a fire raged through his shop and all the valuable stock burnt to a cinder.
Today, if you smell smoke and hear footsteps behind you as you walk past Davies Mews it could be the Ghost of Wilbur, the bookseller who never recovered from falling in love with the piano playing he heard in a remote cottage on the Isle of Nth Rona.

Ah, it is all coming together. Wonderful narratives, wonderful! These ghosts all have a shared connection!!!!
guess it will become more and more complex as the series progresses. glad you are enjoying them (I sure am even if the kitchen is covered in cut up magazines)

I see the connection too!!
Georgiana, such a cool series.
yep lots of fun. I better put a link in to Matilda though for those who aren't as clever as you and Anne
– Soxy Fleming
This is cool. I like the bookshelves. I thought I saw gelatin! Ha.
Yes Wilbur made his own gelatin, carefully boiling the calves feet for days on end refining and clarifying until finally he could add the lime juice and zest which made up his favorite pudding. (Wilbur, you see, had an unpleasant allergy to pomegranate juice and therefore found it best to use limes for vitamin C in his diet)
– Soxy Fleming
This is a wonderful collage, it works really well. Congratulations. I really must do some of these, but my scissors have broken and I am without glue.
I'll post you some

this is excellent-love the ecclectic scholarly feel of the characterization.. and the art to go with it.
wonderful piece!
thank you, so glad to have received such a wonderful comment!

House Commerce advances bill raising Kansas' minimum wage to match federal level
A House panel endorsed a bill Wednesday that would tie the state's minimum wage to the federal level.
Associated Press Writer
A House panel endorsed a bill Wednesday that would tie the state's minimum wage to the federal level.
The Commerce and Labor Committee amended the bill and sent it to the full House for debate. The bill would raise the state minimum wage to $7.25 an hour on Jan. 10, 2010. The federal rate is set to increase to $7.25 on July 1.
The amendment would give the state secretary of labor the authority to set the Kansas minimum wage so it's consistent with future increases in the federal rate. Legislators said that would remove a criticism they have received for years that they aren't responsive to federal changes.
"My intent is to try to get this thing right, and frankly, make this issue go away," said Rep. Steve Brunk, a Belle Aire Republican and chairman of the committee.
Kansas adopted a minimum wage law in 1978, setting the rate at $1.60 per hour. It jumped to the present $2.65 in 1988, the lowest in the United States. Efforts to raise the rate to mirror increases in the federal rate have repeatedly failed in the Legislature over the past two decades.
Labor officials say the increase would apply to 20,000 workers or fewer in the state who are not already covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Senate has already approved raising the minimum wage. If approved by the House, negotiators from the two chambers will work on a compromise.
DRUG TESTING: Some Republicans in the Kansas House are pushing for random drug testing for people who receive cash assistance from the state.
A bill mandating such testing has cleared the House Health and Human Services Committee and is headed to the entire chamber for debate.
The measure would affect about 14,000 people receiving help under the Temporary Assistance for Families, General Assistance, Child Care Assistance and Grandparents as Caregivers Assistance programs.
People who fail the tests and don't complete a treatment program would lose their benefits. The testing would cost $800,000 a year and start in July 2010.
Committee Chairwoman Brenda Landwehr, a Wichita Republican, told The Topeka Capital-Journal that the state has a duty to make sure tax dollars don't finance drug habits.
But Democrats are skeptical of the proposal, and the committee's endorsement Tuesday came on a party-line vote.
SNUFFED OUT: A bill to impose a statewide smoking ban appears to be on the sidelines for the rest of the 2009 Kansas legislative session.
The House Health and Human Services Committee took less than five minutes Wednesday to vote to table the issue until it receives more information. However, because Friday is the last day for committees to meet this year, it is unlikely the panel will take up the measure again.
The bill would ban smoking in most public places. It also prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants, workplaces and government buildings, and within 10 feet of any doorway, open window or air intake of any place where smoking is banned.
Senators passed the bill 26-13 earlier in the session.
Sen. David Wysong, a Mission Hills Republican, has been the bill's chief sponsor. He said after the committee's action that he was disappointed, but not surprised. Wysong said the momentum was building across the country and other nations to regulate smoking, as many cities and counties in Kansas have in recent years.
"This thing will get bigger and bigger. I'm proud of the Senate seeing it for what it is, a statewide health issue," Wysong said.
FOSTER CARE: Private agencies providing foster care and other youth services want to exempt themselves from state inspections.
They've told the House Health and Human Services Committee that they already must abide by rigorous private accreditation standards. They contend the state inspections represent unnecessary duplication and could discourage some families from volunteering to take foster children.
But the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, along with some child care facilities, oppose the move, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. They argue having a second set of inspections provides more protection.
The committee began hearings Tuesday on a bill to exempt maternity centers and child care facilities from being inspected by the agency if the center or facility is accredited by one of three private groups. It took no action.
SEAT BELTS: Transportation Secretary Deb Miller said Wednesday that Kansas is in danger of losing $11 million in federal highway funds.
She said that legislators must strengthen the state's seat belt law by June 30 to claim the one-time federal grant.
The Senate has approved the bill, but the House Transportation Committee's chairman doesn't plan to consider it.
The bill permits law enforcement officers to stop drivers for not wearing seat belts. State law now says officers must stop someone first for another infraction, such as speeding, before issuing a ticket for not buckling up.
House committee Chairman Gary Hayzlett, a Lakin Republican, wasn't swayed by the argument. He said the federal government has long used such tactics to get states to strengthen their seat belt laws.
UNDER THE DOME: Wednesday was the 66th day of the legislative session out of 90 scheduled. ... Legislative leaders have scheduled a news conference for Thursday to discuss developments in the Kansas bioscience industry. ... Kansas' congressional delegation has announced that the Department of Homeland Security has begun taking construction bids for the $523 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to be built in Manhattan. ... House and Senate negotiators resumed talks but didn't agree on the final version of a bill allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas, and they expect to meet again Friday.

UFC: Shogun Rua spills the plan for Lyoto Machida upset
Shogun Rua – perhaps like many before him – has a plan for dethroning Lyoto Machida as the UFC light-heavyweight champion.
How does Rua believe he will defeat Machida ? "Lyoto comes from that karate background and has translated his karate into a style which works very well in MMA."
"It is a rare style, but there are things he does which I have seen before. Even in my last fight, Chuck Liddell was a counter puncher like Lyoto so there are aspects of what he does which aren't so different. Eventually, his style will be solved and I believe I will be the one to solve it."
"I am focused on the strategy we have come up with. I will keep to that plan because we have looked at his style and found a strategy we believe will defeat his style.
"I have a strategy, and he will too, but a fight is a fight and when things happen you have to react to things going a different way. Maybe the person who adapts to things quicker will win and that is where my greater experience may help me."
Rua insists the 'underdog' tag suits him. "Machida is the champion and starts favourite and that is right. Maybe it is a good thing, because I haven't lost as an underdog."
"I think maybe that's because I fight better when I am not under the pressure, and now all the pressure is off of me and on the champion. It is what it is, with the bookmakers, I don't care what the odds are just what I am going to do in the fight."
"The UFC will see the best Shogun on Saturday. Not the best since PRIDE, but the best ever. Professionally and personally, I am at my peak now, this is the best time of my life. I've got much more experience than I had when I was in PRIDE."
"I fight with a lot of strategy now whereas before I used not to think so much about a plan. I think to beat the top guys like Lyoto you need a plan before you go into the Octagon."
"I think a lot of people thought Liddell was going to knock me out but I proved that I am not finished and my best performances are in the future."
Rua also insists he is over his injuries, and we will now see the best of him in the UFC, something he believes fans have not seen since he was signed.
"The knee injuries, two surgeries back to back, were a dark time in my life. There were times when it was very bad for me, especially when I had another surgery right as I wanted to start training again. But things happen in life and you have to come through them stronger."
"I've not shown the best of myself in the UFC yet, but this is the perfect time to do that. I am 100 percent, I am healthy
Rua also believes he has not had enough credit for defeating Chuck Liddell, with many observers citing that 'The Iceman' was simply over the hill.
"It is funny and surprising to hear people say I beat an old man (Chuck Liddell) to get my title shot because these same people, before that fight, were saying I was going to get killed."

A lawyer for the relatives of people killed inside Wat Pathumwanaram, in Ratchaprasong, on May 19, 2010 cut short testimony from military witnesses during the inquest hearing on Thursday morning.
Three infantrymen were supposed to testify before the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court - sergeant majors Samai Rakchat, Rakchat Jantaket, and Yongyos Phayakkreng. All are from the 31st Infantry, 2nd Regiment of the King's Guard.
Military sources said the relatives' lawyer accepted the witnesses' written testimony, saying they did not have to appear for oral cross-examination.

Biden Covers Obama's Weekly Address Duties
Sunday, March 30, 2014
(Undated) -- Vice President Joe Biden stands in for President Obama this week to deliver the President's usual Saturday's address. Biden noted that raising the minimum wage is beneficial to the nation's economy as a whole. He says that's because lower wage earners will turn around and spend that additional money on necessities, pumping cash right back into their local economy. And, he calls it a plus for businesses because a fair wage leads to lower employee turnover rates and greater worker loyalty.
